• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I need some help. I used to be a ex swinger which is swapping partners and having sex with them. I am feeling so so bad about this as I am married. I realise that I have done wrong. With the love of god and by his grace I have decided that enough is enough I can ruin my marriage if I havent already. Going behind his back was wrong. I have upset some people and I want them to know this is the true me. I have opened my heart and told one person about this and he has said he can no longer talk to me as he feels that I fancy him and that I never have.

Also I have a very high sex drive which leads me to please myself on rare occasions.

How does god forgive someone like me.

I do repent of all my sins.

God forgives someone like you the same way He forgives someone like me. He has His Son spread His arms and allow the soldiers to put the nails in His hands and feet. He lets His Son experience the punishment for that sin, and all sins of the world as payment. He pours out His grace, love and forgiveness in such an awesome abundance you and I will never be able to comprehend it.

Your sins are forgotten and He remembers them no more. Forgive yourself now.

Dont worry, if you have asked God to forgive then it's gone, never to be brought up again, as far as the east is from the wast, that is where He has cast your sin.

I once was lost,
but now I'm found.
Was blind,
but now I see.

Twas grace,
that taught,
my heart,
to fear.
And grace
my fears,
releaved.
How precious did,
that grace appear,
the hour I first,
believed.
And grace,
will lead,
me on.

I know it's not the right order, but the message is timeless.

sisterJenna,

Stay in God's word and in prayer. Make a daily commitment to converse with God. Hearing what God has to say and how He sees you as His child may help you to see yourself in a better light. There are people who have committed so many sins in the Bible and have gone on to become great men and women of God. Read John 8:1-12.
God Bless

In my opinion you should forgive yourself, its another stage just like asking god's forgiveness. I do feal though maybe you are to hard on yourself it is not wise to dwell on the past because it cant be changed, what we can change is what is here and now. I understand why you were a swung i have done it before being with one partner is unnatural for people we always want more. It is easy to want another sexual partner in even the most commited relationships, all that matters is that you are sorry and want to seek forgiveness
